Henry Single Shot Rifle Pivot Pin

I looked at a video, probably one of Henry Rifle's videos, and it mentions that on the single shot rifles, one should use a nylon punch to remove the pivot pin in order to separate the barrel/forearm from the receiver/stock.
Does someone sell such? Do other single shot users use a brass drift rather than a nylon punch?
Am I overthinking this thing? Is it easy to remove without a specialized tool?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

I use an old turkey pot call striker. Fits perfect.

I took it a out this afternoon. I used a brass drift and was surprised how easily it came out. Really just a light tap.
Thanks to those who offered advice.

It's hard and painful to let them go, they become such a part of our lives and families.
